• Off-the-Shelf Dilators & Sheaths for AnsixTech
  

  Off-the-shelf dilators and sheaths are products that are already manufactured and ready for purchase and use. They are usually designed and manufactured based on specific application needs and requirements. Here are some examples of common off-the-shelf dilators and sheaths:

  Vasodilator: A vasodilator is a device used to widen narrowed or blocked blood vessels. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, silicone, etc. Vasodilators can be inserted and expanded to expand the inner diameter of blood vessels to restore normal blood flow. Common vascular dilators include balloon dilators, stent dilators, etc.

  Catheter jacket: A catheter jacket is an outer structure used to protect and cover the catheter. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. Catheter sheaths can provide additional protection and isolation, preventing the catheter from coming into contact with the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of infection and contamination. Common catheter sheaths include urinary catheter sheaths, chest drainage tube sheaths, etc.

  Guide wire sheath: The guide wire sheath is an outer structure used to protect and cover the guide wire. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. Guidewire sheaths provide additional protection and reduce friction to facilitate guidewire insertion and manipulation. Common guidewire sheaths include guidewire sheaths, guidewire catheters, etc.

• Medical Dilator Technologies
  

  Medical tube dilator technology is a technology used to enlarge or open medical tubes or lumens. It can be achieved through different methods and instruments, here are some common medical tube dilator technologies:

  Balloon Dilators: Balloon dilators are a common medical tube dilator technology. It involves a flexible balloon that is inserted into a narrow duct or lumen through a guidewire, and then the balloon is inflated to dilate the duct or lumen. Balloon dilators are commonly used for blood vessel dilation, stent implantation and other applications.

  Stent Dilators: Stent dilators are a technology that uses stents to expand tubes or lumens. It consists of a deployable stent that is inserted into a narrow duct or lumen through a guidewire, and then deployed to expand the duct or lumen. Stent expanders are commonly used in applications such as vascular stent implantation and biliary stent implantation.

  Mechanical Dilators: Mechanical dilators are a technology that uses mechanical force to expand tubes or lumens. It consists of a device with a tapered or spherical head that is inserted into a narrow tube or lumen by rotating or advancing, and then using mechanical force to expand the tube or lumen. Mechanical dilators are commonly used for applications such as urethral dilation and esophageal dilation.

  Airway Dilators: Airway Dilators are a technology that uses a balloon to expand a tube or lumen. It involves a flexible balloon that is inserted into a narrow duct or lumen through a guidewire, and then inflated to expand the duct or lumen. Balloon dilators are commonly used for applications such as tracheodilation and bronchiectasis.

  The choice of medical tube dilator technology depends on specific application needs and requirements. When using medical tube dilator technology, evaluation and operation need to be based on the patient’s condition and the experience of the medical professional to ensure safe and effective dilation.

• Medical Sheath Technologies
  

  Medical sheathing technology is a technology used to protect and cover medical devices or tubing. It provides additional protection and isolation, preventing the instrument or tubing from coming into contact with the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of infection and contamination. Here are some common medical sheath technologies:

  Catheter Sheaths: Catheter Sheaths are an outer structure used to protect and cover catheters. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. Catheter sheaths can provide additional protection and isolation, preventing the catheter from coming into contact with the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of infection and contamination. Catheter sheaths are commonly used in applications such as urinary catheters and vascular catheters.

  Guide Wire Sheaths: Guide Wire Sheaths are an outer structure used to protect and cover the guide wire. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. Guidewire sheaths provide additional protection and reduce friction to facilitate guidewire insertion and manipulation. Guidewire sheaths are commonly used for guidewire guidance, vascular intervention and other applications.

  Tubing Sheaths: Pipe sheathing is an outer structure used to protect and cover pipelines. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. Pipe jacketing can provide additional protection and isolation, preventing pipes from coming into contact with the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of infection and contamination. Pipe jackets are commonly used in applications such as infusion tubes and drainage tubes.

  Cable Sheaths: Cable sheaths are an outer structure used to protect and cover cables. It is usually made of flexible materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. Cable jacketing can provide additional protection and isolation, preventing the cable from coming into contact with the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of damage and failure. Cable jackets are commonly used in applications such as medical equipment and monitoring instruments.

  The choice of medical sheath technology depends on specific application needs and requirements. When using medical sheath technology, it needs to be evaluated and operated based on the patient’s condition and the experience of the medical professional to ensure safe and effective protection and isolation.
